Well we are slightly under three weeks now (the season starts on the 6th, a Wednesday this year) which is pushing it a little since we barely finished with three weeks last year. Less time also means people are less compelled to trade and just pick to get it over with.

With any luck VALUE picks tomorrow and the other two go quickly after that, then the regular draft can start pretty much right off.

We can start once the keeper and draft order is resolved..... CMONNNN MARSHAWN

and yes, if you want to trade for a spot you should know who you want anyway, no extensions...but usually if you're so determined to move up you know who you want anyway

Pay homage to the INCREDIBLE scoring goalie!!!! :-)

I saw CRASHER trip a kid on skates and then he stole the kids lunch money and slapped his mom when she came to pick him up.. All because the kid looked at his crease

CRASHER's official list of high stick victims from this forum:gionta182, devilsfan26 .... WHO'S NEXT??

2005 Fantasy Football League Champion... Bow to my Football knowledge !!!!!!

2003-04 NJDevs.com winner of the Masterton Award for Dedication to the Devils(still proud of that one !)

4, Four (!?!?) Time (2005-2008) NJDevs.com winner of the Whoever the damn Award for the funniest poster in the land is named after...(geesh... post pressure, but I seem ok with it!)TWO TIME (2005, 2006) Award Winner and the man who can show Jeremy Roenick what a REAL loudmouth is all about.... hell this mouth roars SO loud, they retired the DAMN AWARD!!!! But how do you be emotional about an award for being most emotional when you're sharing it?

This draft's nine and a half months pregnant as it is. Now I get the feeling we're waiting long enough so CRASHER doesn't have to draft until after the second round of preseason games tomorrow night

Not that I'm entirely averse to waiting till then either (admittedly now if this draft starts today and my player's playing tonight I might wind up milking the clock at this point if it's not an unreasonable amount of time), but realisitically we need to get going with the amount of time the draft's taken in the past and the fact we have one less day this year before the start of the season.

btw semi-related note, about freaking time the NFL Network shows up on Cablevision

Attn: Conspiracy Theorists: we haven't moved on because of personal-life delays from me + the need to examine my 3-5 potential keepers for consideration. For once, Crasher is blameless in this as he did tell me to pick sometime whenever this first started, so my apologies for the delay. Also, since Crasher is away until Tuesday, I wouldn't expect anything that requires his input to be ready before Tuesday-Wednesday
